Alexa: A Women of Many Faces


I am a mother first then everything else. I am a Latina mother of three amazing boys. I am also a humanitarian, educator, business women, student, sister, aunt, and a friend, a woman of many faces. I became a mother during my adolescent years and have traveled a long journey. In my journey I have faced many obstacles that have shaped me into who I am today. I was raised in the heart of Washington Heights in a time of turmoil which included drugs and violence. But I am proud and have no regrets about my upbringing.

The media is unavoidable and is found in every direction we see. As a media consumer I believe we are all victims. As a media consumer and being a mother my role is a tough one and my biggest challenge is to protect my children to a certain extent. Children are innocent little people that learn from their environment therefore any exposure from the media is crucial. The media plays a major role in every one's lives starting with our children. The messages being projected are the biggest influence to many of our decisions. I have done my best in trying to teach my children about the facts of life. The best way I have inserted this is by communication.
